Usage Guidelines
Use this command to configure the switch to send PIMv2 messages so that it advertises itself as a candidate
RP to the BSR.
This command should be configured on backbone switches that have good connectivity to all parts of the PIM
domain.
The IP address associated with the interface specified by interface-id will be advertised as the C-RP address.
The interface specified for this command must be enabled for Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) using
the ip pim command.
If the optional group-list keyword and access-list-number argument are configured, the group prefixes defined
by the standard IP access list will also be advertised in association with the RP address.
